[Chicken-users] Bug in SRFI-13 lib?

[Matt Gushee]

What's up with this?

  CHICKEN
  Version 3.0.0 - linux-unix-gnu-x86    [ manyargs dload ptables
    applyhook ]
  ...

  csi> (require-extension srfi-13)
  ; loading library srfi-13 ...
  csi> (require-extension posix)
  ; loading library posix ...

  csi> (define sysname (car (system-information)))
  csi> (string= sysname "Dogbreath")
  #f
  csi> (string= sysname "Linux")
  5

I realize that from the perspective of boolean tests, 5 is just as true 
as #t, so maybe it doesn't really matter, but wouldn't it be preferable 
to return a canonical boolean value? Is there a big performance 
advantage to returning an integer?
